Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

🚨 You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. 🚨
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io

Astrid — an open, card-based project assistant
Hey all 👋 Sharing something I've been building: Astrid, a project assistant that lives entirely in plain files you own — no database, no SaaS, no account. The problem it tackles: most of what running projects involves is scattered — a commitment made in a hallway, a decision buried in an email thread, a risk everyone knows about but nobody wrote down, a deadline whose first witness is the customer. Astrid turns that scatter into a small set of durable JSON "cards" that a Claude project (plus a few tiny scripts) read. It reads your cards before it says anything, tells you what's urgent / late / stalled / overdue to report, and turns the things you mention in passing into tracked work before they fall through a crack. It walks from the project-card (the anchor) down to the action-card (the work) — nine card types in all: project, action, meeting, contact, plus risk, issue, decision, milestone and deliverable, every one linking down to the actions that move it. Portfolio reporting and stagnation-spotting are built in: Astrid knows when a project is overdue for a steering report and which action hasn't moved in three weeks — and it leads with that. Two short videos: - ▶ The explainer — project-card to action-card (1:40): https://youtu.be/Hv_I9FLQ6gA - Meet Astrid — the intro (2:40): https://youtu.be/hMdUBDRynO8 GITHUB: https://github.com/astetic-dev/astrid One deliberate choice I want to be upfront about: the UI is minimal on purpose. The only interface that ships is a single, read-only dashboard.html. That's not laziness — it's the bet. The product is the data model, not a front-end. I want this to be a core you shape to your own taste. So this is a "Show Your Work" post and an open invitation in one — I'd genuinely love for this to become a community build: - Build a UI on top of the cards — a web app, a TUI, a mobile view, an inline editor, an Obsidian/Notion sync. The JSON schemas are the contract; the dashboard is just one renderer.
